How does ClickandBuy work?

ClickandBuy offers customers two different ways of making deposits: account transactions, and non-account transactions.

Like most e-wallets, account transactions draw money from your e-wallet’s balance and deposit it in your casino account. Setting up a ClickandBuy account is easy and quick, as is depositing funds for use in the e-wallet:

The following diagram explains how the process of using your ClickandBuy account for online purchases and casino deposits works:

Additionally, ClickandBuy offers you the possibility to use its services to process credit card transactions without having an account. However, if you wish to withdraw funds from your casino account through ClickandBuy, you will need an account.

Operating costs

If there is a downside to using ClickandBuy as a payment method, it’s that some of its payment costs can be significantly higher when compared to rival online payment systems such as Skrill or Neteller.

However, setting up an account is free, as is using existing funds to make purchases/casino deposits.

Please note that with withdrawals, you can sometimes be required to request a withdrawal from ClickandBuy’s customer service, and may be requested to provide additional information (such as copies of bank statements).

There are additional charges associated with ClickandBuy accounts. These can build up over time or occur unexpectedly, so monitoring your account is key. These charges include:

Topping up your ClickandBuy account with funds is easy to do, although you will be severely restricted on the amounts you can top up if you haven’t verified the payment method being used. Once the crediting process is complete, simply click the ‘account home’ tab to see your new balance.

In order to withdraw funds from your casino account using ClickandBuy, you’ll need a ClickandBuy account. However, the process is quick, secure and hassle free.

To withdraw funds:

Open the 32 Red Casino software and log in.

Click the ‘bank’ button.

Click the ‘withdraw’ tab.

Enter the amount you wish to withdraw.

If ClickandBuy is not listed as the preferred method of payment, click the ‘change method’ link.

Select ClickandBuy from the lists of methods, enter your account number and email address, and place a checkmark in the terms and conditions box.

Click the ‘next’ button.

If prompted, confirm your address and other personal details, and confirm again.

When prompted, say you would like to process a withdrawal.

Enter the amount you wish to withdraw, place a checkmark in the terms and conditions box, and click the ‘next’ button.

At the summary page, click the ‘withdraw’ button.

Note that should you decide you don’t wish to withdraw the funds (or wish to withdraw them using another method, such as Skrill or Neteller), you have a limited timeframe in which to reverse the transaction. The funds will then be credited back to your balance.

To do this:

Open the 32 Red software and log in.

Click the ‘bank’ button.

Select the ‘reverse withdrawal’ tab.

Provided the transaction hasn’t been processed, the amount available will be shown. Select ‘reverse all’ to reverse all pending transactions, or ‘other’ to reverse a specific amount.

Click the ‘next’ button, then click the ‘reverse withdrawal’ button when prompted to cancel the transfer.

Verifying your account and payment methods

Payment methods need to be verified before you can use them to deposit funds in your account. Additionally, when you verify your first payment method, you also verify your payment method(s) and accounts.

In order to verify a payment method, ClickandBuy.com issues two small charges to the account holder’s new payment method. The account holder then checks their statements (for instance, through online banking) to see what the two amounts are, and enters the two amounts in their account to complete the process.

Once a payment method has been added and the charges made:

Check your statements (e.g. through online banking) and note the amounts of the two charges.

Visit the ClickandBuy.com website and log in.

Click the ‘Account Home’ tab.

If your account status is unverified, click the ‘Confirm Now’ link; if it is confirmed, click the payment methods button, then click the ‘Confirm’ link next to the payment method.

Enter the two amounts and click continue.

Assuming the amounts are correct, the sum of the two test charges will now be credited to your ClickandBuy account.

Conclusion

Like its competitors, ClickandBuy offers a safe, simple and quick way to transfer funds around. However, its above-average operating costs are likely to be a stumbling block for many, particularly those looking to make big deposits via credit card. Likewise, the fact you only have one option to withdraw funds from your account is a major limiting factor.

The fact it’s so widely supported by online retailers (as well as online casinos) offers a means to spend your winnings directly on things other than gambling. But nevertheless, dedicated gamblers may prefer to look at other payment methods first.
